However, it soon became evident that Dave Grohl and company were performing “Never Gonna Give You Up” in the style of the Nevermind classic.

“Fucking nuts. You’re nuts,” Astley told the band as he walked offstage.

The Summer Sonic audience weren’t the first recipients of a Foo Fighters “rickroll”: In August 2015, Foo Fighters served up “Never Gonna Give You Up” from a flatbed truck as they drove by Westboro Baptist Church members that were protesting the band’s Kansas City concert.

Grohl told the Sprint Arena crowd of the prank later that night, “We figured, you know what, why don’t we just fucking rickroll their ass? Cause nothing says love like a little Rick Astley in your life, you know what I’m saying? Never gonna give his ass up!”
